Hello All, 

Chennai Chapter Secretary's yahoo account is hacked and the following message is repeatedly being sent to those in his mailing list. 

Peculiar features of this hack: 

1) The signature Sarto Rajenendran exactly resembles his signature in font style and color 
2) The phone numbers are subtly changed from 26158550 26157569 2615449, 98403 45969 actual 
to Phone: 91-44-26148550(Off-dir), 26137569, 26164449 Mobile: 98423 45969 in the spoofed mail, the numbers are visually similar but on close inspection one or two digits are changed in the spoffed mail 
3) Yahoo India is taking inordinate time in responding to a report, because the verification information such as date of birth does not match the info that is on record with Yahoo in this account that was opened ten years ago. 
4) This message with this apparent id is continually being sent, 

What are the authorities that he can report to?

How's work on your end? This had to come in a hurry and it has left me in a devastating state.I am in some terrible situation and I'm really going to need your urgent help. Yesterday, unannounced, I came down to Nigeria for a Conference meeting. Well i actually got robbed in the Hotel I booked in and they made away with my wallet (which included my cash, diaries and complementary cards). My cell phones were not brought along since I did not get to roam them before coming over. The phone cables have been burnt including internet connection cables and the Hotel's database has been compromised as well. So all I can do now is pay cash and get out of here quickly. I do not want to make a scene of this which is why I did not call the office or my house, this is embarrassing enough. Please I want you to lend me a sum of $1,860 just to clear my Hotel bills and get the next plane home. The Consulate only cleared me of my traveling documents and ticketing since I came in as a tourist and not on official purpose. Please be rest assured that I'd have your money reimbursed to you immediately I get home. Please you can have it sent via Western union money transfer to my name and on this address right here. 

Name -Sarto Rajendran 
> Address - 101 Freeman lane 
> City - Lagos 
> Country - Nigeria 
> Zip Code - 23401 

Thank you so much, please as soon as you are done sending me the money, I need you to help me write out the Mtcn details giving to you by the Western union agent or better still help me scan a copy of the receipt. I am looking forward to hear from you.
